Together we can make a difference

Ensemble, nous pouvons faire la différence

Independent media workers are under direct and sustained attack by media owners
in this country. Over the past three decades, self-employed communications professionals have
seen their real income plummet a whopping 66%.
And while rates continue to go down, contract demands for more of our copyrights keep going up.
Most publishers now demand that its contract workers sign away virtually all rights to the work
they create – and do so for a decreasing amount of money.

The Canadian Freelance Union was created to help independent media workers deal with these growing inequities.
